Coach Heinchon on John Schmitt: "John has been a vocal leader for us since his freshman year. He brings a lot of energy to anything we do and all of the guys feed off of it. John has really improved his return in doubles and that has helped his singles. Those improves will see him move up in the lineup and really be a tough opponent for whoever we are facing."
